Arithmetic-Geometric Mean
The arithmetic-geometric mean
of two numbers
and
(often also written
or
) is defined by starting with

The AGM is very useful in computing the values of complete elliptic integrals and can also be used for finding the inverse tangent.
It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as ArithmeticGeometricMean[a, b].
can be expressed in closed form in terms of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind

The definition of the arithmetic-geometric mean also holds in the complex plane, as illustrated above for

The Legendre form of the arithmetic-geometric mean is given by

(OEIS A014549) is called Gauss's constant. It has the closed form
where the above integral is the lemniscate function and the equality of the arithmetic-geometric mean to this integral was known to Gauss (Borwein and Bailey 2003, pp. 13-15).

The derivative of the AGM is given by

is the complete elliptic integral of the second kind.
A series expansion for
